Thanks Matt Berry
Hey guys have to give a big thanks to Matt Berry for helping me out to get my new buy back home to Yeppoon.Called in to get some fuel at Cooroy Qld
and noticed fuel leaking out of a hose(breather as Matt later told me)and new to kombis and something like 500kms from home had a bit of a panic.Rang
RACQ first but got told that because we were driving on a permit and the car wasnt regoed they wouldnt help.Gave Matt a call and like a true Vdubber
he came out and help with good advice and some fuel line.
Thats what this club is all about,dropping what you're doing to help someone out.
Again many thanks Matt and yes we did get home.

G'day all. vwfive you couldn't have picked abetter place to break down. 1 of the best came to your rescue. As a kombi baja owner the little I've
had to do with Matt I have always found him to be great help & support well done Matt. I don't have much in the line of parts & a little
knowledge of VW motors but always happy to help out stranded on the Nambour area so if your stuck. get in touch. I a few bay kombi rims & tyres
& 4 stud beetle in case anyone ever needs an emergency spare to get them on the road as well

While we are on a be nice to Matt kick, I would certainly like to give him a big tick.
He never seems to be too busy to have a chat and give advice freely when I have rung him, even though I am in Tasmania and cannot drop the car round
for any work.
Will make it to the big northern island one year and am looking forward to catching up with a few of the members here.

In these days of people doing nasty things to other people, how refreshing it is to read about an old-fasioned 'Good Deed'.......'onya Matt. 
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yep, while I've never met Mat or had any contact with him ( least not that I recall ) I have hade a few contacts with others on this forum with
similar results, managed to give a bit in return from my very limited store of knowledge, gives you that warm fuzzy feeling .
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

4 buses is cool, what types Squidy?
Eumundi is just down the hiway, basically the next off ramp on the 110 zone heading south (nearly Hillbilly country ) , I get down there now and then if you know what I mean
